The 2.6% y/y increase was mainly due to higher production in the following divisions:
The motor vehicles, parts and accessories and other transport equipment division recorded a decline of 12.6% (-1.5 percentage points).
Seasonally adjusted manufacturing production for the three months ended November 2011 increased by 2.0% compared with the previous three months ended August 2011. Six of the ten manufacturing divisions reported positive growth rates over this period.
